INDY RIDE GUIDE: Bicycle Friendliness Map

This is no ordinary bike map. While most bike maps are simply a compilation of bike lanes and greenways, the INDY RIDE GUIDE goes further to evaluate the best streets to ride a bike. Based on a transportation planning algorithm called the Clark Index, this map analyzes the bikeability of major streets in our city. We calculated average daily traffic, posted speed limits, average cyclist speed, number of travel lanes, and usable bike space. Each street was then ranked according to its level of bikeability.

The INDY RIDE GUIDE will be available for FREE at Indy bike shops, boutiques, breweries and hotels.

Throughout the process, volunteers reviewed the rankings to ensure a certain level of subjective verification. We are grateful to all the volunteers, members, and sponsors that made this map possible - we appreciate your commitment to making Indy a more bikeable city!
